89 – Transferred

“Is Sujeongi dangerous?”

When I asked what he was saying at the sudden noise, Choi Tae-sik, unlike usual, had a serious face.

I definitely sensed that something had exploded and waited for an answer.

“I planted an informant in your guild building and gave me a device to signal in case of an emergency? But now it just exploded.”

“Yes? There are still days left until the full-scale war… ?”

When I asked again as if that couldn’t be the case, he frowned and said as if he was dumbfounded.

“Do you believe that? The war that started now has almost no legitimacy, but it is a war of insistence?”

“I see….”

I wouldn’t have done such a thing if they were the ones who would keep the international conventions in the first place.

There’s nothing strange about a raid like this.

At that time, the sound of a cell phone ringing.

Taesik Choi took out his cell phone from his chest and answered the phone right away.

“Oh, it’s me. Uh, I know the signal came. What… ? The entire Crystal Guild building is gone?”

I looked at Choi Tae-shik, wondering what he was talking about, and at the gesture of his hand telling him to wait, he waited for the call to end.

“What is it? Guild buildings disappeared?”

After the phone call was over, when asked as if in a hurry, Choi Tae-sik scratched his white hair roughly as if annoyed.

“They say that this son of a b*tch transferred the building to somewhere as it is. Even though he is my child, I would never have thought he would do this….”

“Yes? So you’re saying you don’t know where Sujeongi went?”

“Uh. I don’t know right now.”

“Now then, we need to find it quickly. This isn’t the time to be carefree like this, Master!”

“How are you going to find it? Do you know where it might have gone?”

I couldn’t say anything about that.

I’ve accumulated some knowledge about the ability to transfer, but since I haven’t studied it in depth, I can’t even guess.

I didn’t even know that it was possible to force transfer like this in the first place.

“First of all, calm down. Same thing I’m worried about. I bet you know better than anyone that you have to stay calm the more you do this. Are you the one who survived with that?”

“… You’re right.”

I tried to calm my excitement at Choi Tae-shik’s sharp blow.

It’s hard to calm down easily because I’m so worried about Sujeong, but acting urgently won’t change anything.

As Choi Tae-sik said, it is most important to keep your head cool as it is an emergency.

“Probably, if the informant is alive, he’ll give you a signal about the location right away. So wait a little bit.”

“Okay.”

“Now that this is the case, close your eyes and focus on learning how to control the power you have gained. You are still immature.”

“Yes. I will.”

Agreeing with Choi Tae-sik’s words, I sat down first.

After that, I closed my eyes and went into meditation.

But I still feel like I’m going crazy because Sujeongi’s face flickers rather than the mana overflowing from her body.

And Choi Tae-sik asked in a stern voice if he had noticed that.

“In your eyes, does Choi Su-jeong, the daughter of the Sword Demon, seem so weak that she cannot withstand even a moment of crisis?”

“No.”

“Yes. The things she has worked hard and accumulated over the years can fully protect Sujeongi. So prepare to use the power you gained at the risk of your life. If you leave now, there will be countless situations in which you will risk your life.”

“Okay.”

Is it because he is now accepted as a disciple?

Choi Tae-shik gives advice with a bone to make sure your mind doesn’t get distracted.

I felt grateful to him and began to focus on controlling the mana overflowing from my body.

[Queueek!]

It has already been two days since the Crystal Guild was forcibly transferred and attacked by monsters.

I thought the building was suddenly shaking, but when I came to my senses, I was already taken to a subspace that no one knew.

After that, the people of the Crystal Guild had to spend a busy day without a break due to a series of attacks by monsters.

There is no great difficulty in dealing with B-level or higher monsters because they are invisible, but the important thing is that the raid never ends.

As a result, the self-defense system that was installed in preparation for war was damaged, and it gradually led to loss of life and gnawed at everyone little by little.

As there was a staff vacancy, the guild members and shadows who protected Choi Soo-jung were dispatched to other places, and the number continued to increase.

As the damage accumulates little by little, Soo-jeong Choi is stepping forward with So-yeong Kang so that the other members can take a little break.

“My lady. If you’re having a hard time, it’s okay if I’m alone.”

“No, it’s okay. They’re not that difficult to deal with. I won’t be careless though.”

[Queueek]

Cutting the frog in two with a single blow, Sujeong Choi said as if there was no problem.

However, Kang So-young’s eyes are filled with worries about the slightly slower swing of the ‘Stigma’.

It is exhausting to stand alone like this for almost a full day.

“Guild Leader! We’ve had enough rest, so now we’ll protect you! Let’s take a break!”

At that time, the guild members who ran in asked for a change.

However, Sujeong Choi shook her head and refused.

“No. It’s okay, so go get some rest or look elsewhere. This is where I will hold out and stand.”

At Soo-Jung Choi’s words, the guild members’ eyes naturally turned to So-Young Kang.

In the sense of asking for a policy on what to do.

The guild leader is having a hard time, but it’s kind of like leaving it like this.

“My lady. High-level monsters may appear later, so wouldn’t it be better to reserve your strength for now?”

“No, that’s right! Come back for a bit later.”

“Please take a break for us too!”

The guild members actively support Kang So-young’s rational persuasion.

Choi Su-jeong pondered for a while thinking that she had a point, and then she answered.

“Okay. Then I’ll be gone for a while. Instead, be sure to report any changes.”

“Yes, I understand.”

Choi Soo-jung and Kang So-yeong return to the guild room at the expense of others.

The two threw away the armor they were wearing and leaned on the sofa.

“Choi Woo-seok, you bastard, do you dare to do such a thing?”

Choi Soo-jeong spits out swear words as if she had a tantrum.

Normally, Kang So-yeong would have asked her to be careful with her words, but now she feels the same way, so she just listens.

“I couldn’t even imagine that they would transfer us to a dungeon.”

“I mean. They acted as if they were about to destroy us with all their might in the Holy Gwang Guild, and in the end, they chose to reduce the number with this kind of trick….”

“Did you ever think that even if you win, you might get into trouble if you get mortally wounded in a war with us?”

At Soyoung Kang’s opinion, Sujeong Choi shook her head and said.

“… Probably not. Rather than aiming for something, I think it was just malicious intent.”

“No offense… ?”

Kang So-yeong asks if she doesn’t understand well.

Choi Soo-jung continued her explanation for her.

“Yes. Pure malice. I just want to see the things I built slowly crumble.”

“… I have to say this, but it is really creepy.”

“What are you doing out of the blue, Secretary Kang? I’m a b*tch too, but he’s the one who runs on top of it.”

“I guess so.”

After swearing coolly at the culprit, the tension was relieved and the two naturally fell silent, probably from fatigue.

After that, Soo-Jung Choi’s body wiggled from side to side, and soon his eyes started to close little by little.

Even before he was brought here, he had hardly slept and was working, but as he stood on the alert, his fatigue rose to the limit, making it difficult to endure.

That’s the same for Soyoung Kang, but she has the experience of not sleeping for a week in the past, so she’s holding on somehow.

And most of all, she can’t sleep because the one she has to protect with her life is defenseless.

Sure.

Kang So-yeong approaches Choi Soo-jung, who is now soundly asleep with her neck leaning on her sofa.

Then she pulled her carefully and laid her head on her own thigh.

If she was the usual Choi Soo-jung, she would have opened her eyes right away, but she leaned comfortably on whether she knew instinctively that it was Kang So-young.

Kang So-yeong smiled a little at that figure and slowly reached out her hand and brushed her silver hair, which was still shiny despite her fatigue.

She has been watching Choi Soo-jeong since she was very young, and it feels like she grew up very quickly.

As much as I experienced harsh trials from a young age, I quickly matured and became stronger.

Seeing these scenes, Kang So-yeong felt proud inside, but felt sad at the same time.

She wondered if she would have lived a happier life if she had lived like any other girl her age.

She herself has not lived a smooth life, but at least she wants Choi Soo-jung to live that kind of life at least once.

“Even for a little while, I hope you can sleep comfortably….”

Shouting out, Kang So-yeong earnestly hoped that her younger brother, whom she loved and cared for, who was now her everything, would not wake up for a while.
